Like the amazing Dorothy in the story "The Wizard
of Oz", our Canadian Stuffies travel to far-off places of enchantment!

This website is dedicated to that first magical journey,
in 1997, when Mrs. Boekhout's stuffies traveled from Coquitlam, British
Columbia, Canada on an exchange program with Mrs. Lawson's stuffies
from a primary class in Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia.

We (the stuffies
and I!) hope this website inspires you to find your own magical friendships
around the world!
